Roseanne Barr apologized to George Soros on Monday — two weeks after she accused the Jewish billionaire of being a Nazi collaborator.
“I apologize sincerely to @georgesoros. His family was persecuted by The Nazis & survived The Holocaust only because of the strength & resourcefulness of his father,” she said, alongside a link to Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
On May 29, Barr had falsely claimed that Chelsea Clinton is married to Soros’ nephew, then called the Democratic megadonor a “Nazi” who “turned in his fellow Jews.”
“Sorry to have tweeted incorrect info about you!I Please forgive me! By the way, George Soros is a nazi who turned in his fellow Jews 2 be murdered in German concentration camps & stole their wealth-were you aware of that? But, we all make mistakes, right Chelsea?” Barr wrote in the tweet, which she has not deleted.
That same day, the comic compared former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape — and ABC promptly cancelled the revival of her hit sitcom, “Roseanne,” over the racist tweetstorm.
Barr had apologized to Jarrett shortly after her tweet but didn’t address the Soros smears, which were retweeted by President Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr.
Her apology to the 87-year-old Holocaust survivor comes two days after he gave a rare interview with the Washington Post calling her comments “a total fabrication.”
Soros was 14 when the Nazis occupied his native Hungary.
At the time, he has said he and other kids were ordered by the Jewish Council to deliver deportation notices to local Jewish lawyers — but Soros told the New Republic he instead warned them not to report to authorities.
His father also paid a Christian government minister to allow Soros to pose as his godson — during which time he once watched the official inventory the estate of a Jewish man who had fled the country.
The conspiracy theory that Soros was a “Nazi collaborator” was spread after he discussed the incident in a 1998 “60 Minutes” interview, saying he didn’t feel any guilt over it because he was “only a spectator,” according to the Independent.
